Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, to resolve an unauthorized

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described public land in Park 
County, Wyoming, has been examined and found suitable for sale under 
the authority of Section 203 of FLPMA, as amended:

Sixth Principle Meridian

T. 55 N, R. 100 W,
    Sec. 10, lot 4.

    The areas described contains 1.31 acres in Park County, Wyoming.

    The sale is in conformance with the BLM Cody Resource Management 
Plan, which identifies this parcel of public land as suitable for 
disposal on page 105 and management action 6011, approved on September 
18, 2015. The parcel is not needed for any other Federal purpose. The 
regulations at 43 CFR 2711.3-3(a) permit the BLM to make direct sales 
of public lands when a competitive sale is not appropriate and the 
public interest would be best served by a direct sale. A competitive 
sale is not appropriate because these lands contain improvements owned 
by the Jeanne S. Moeller Trust, rendering the land not usable by the 
public. The public interest would be served by resolving this 
inadvertent unauthorized use and receiving the fair market value for 
the lands.
    On August 30, 2018, the above-described lands will be segregated 
from appropriation under the public lands laws, including the mining 
laws, except the sale provision of the FLPMA. Until completion of the 
sale action, the BLM is no longer accepting land use applications 
affecting the public land, except applications for the amendment of 
previously-filed, right-of-way applications or existing authorizations 
to increase the term of the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 
and 2886.15. The temporary segregative effect will terminate upon the 
issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal Register of a 
termination of the segregation, or on July 16, 2020, unless extended by 
the BLM Wyoming State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1-2(d) 
prior to the termination date.
    In addition, this Notice will publish once each week for three 
weeks in the Powell Tribune newspaper.
    The following terms, conditions, and reservations will appear on 
the conveyance document for the sale parcel:
    1. A right-of-way is reserved for ditches or canals constructed by 
the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 
945);
    2. A reservation of all minerals to the United States, and the 
right to prospect for, mine, and remove such minerals under applicable
